Forever Tab

Forever -- Ben Harper             Tabbed by Travis Hussey, mr_flycstr@yahoo.com
 
(Note: This is a much more complete tab than the others, which missed
the bass notes and transitional chords shown below. To save space I
condensed the verse tab riff into one line, indicating each of the 4
iterations. The chorus Am riffs are still a little off, so any comments
there are welcome!)

Not talkin' bout a year, no not three or four
I don't want that kind of forever in my life anymore
Forever always seems to be around when it begins
But forever never seems to be around when it ends
 
Chorus: So give me your forever. Please your forever
        Not another day less will do, From you
 
People spend so much time every single day
Runnin' round all over town giving their forever way
But no not me I won't let my forever roam
And now I hope I can find my forever a home (to Chorus, instrumental)
 
Like a handless clock with numbers an infinite of time
No not the forever found only in the mind
Forever always seems to be around when things begin
But forever never seems to be around when things end (to Chorus w/ Finale)
